This 2006 Altec D3050BR is a mounted digger derrick — a truck-mounted combination of a digger and a crane-style derrick boom, commonly known as a pole setter or utility derrick — used primarily by electrical utilities, telecoms contractors, and line crews to auger holes and set poles, all from a single self-contained unit. Altec is a well-established American manufacturer of aerial work platforms, digger derricks, and utility equipment, supplying products to the electric utility, telecommunications, and contractor markets for decades.
The unit is mounted on a 2006 GMC 8500 chassis showing 87,658 miles and powered by a CAT diesel engine in a pre-emission configuration, paired with an Allison automatic transmission. The derrick carries an Altec serial number of 0306CA0758 and is rated at a listed capacity of 30,000 lb, with a sheave height of 50 feet. The third stage of the boom is insulated, an important feature for work near energised lines. Augering capability is provided by a two-speed auger drive fitted with an 18-inch auger, and a pole guide is included to control poles during setting operations.
The truck body is a 19-foot Altec flatbed with a 3-foot tool box, providing organised on-board storage for rigging, tools, and ancillary equipment. The chassis is equipped with rear trailer air and electric brakes and a pintle hitch, making it ready to tow trailers as required on job sites. The unit is noted as current DOT, indicating it has passed Department of Transportation inspection. Fast delivery is available from the seller's location in Iowa, USA.
